In Japan we have snow cones just like the ones in the U.S; shaved ice and syrup . We also have snow cones with ice cream and fruit on top, and we even have snow cones with sweet red beans and sticky rice cake on top called ” Ujikintoki (宇治金時)” . Ujikintoki is usually a Matcha green tea ( 抹茶 ) flavored snow cone, often served with Matcha or vanilla ice cream.
